Title: Dual Stomp Kingslayer
Post by: Droogie on May 07, 2014, 04:12:55 PM
So after waiting nearly forever to finally build a Kingslayer and see what the fuss all about, I took the plunge and am really digging it. I know this must have been brought up before and I'm likely to have a "duh" moment, but is there a way to create, in effect, a dual channel KS in which I can run clean most of the time and then stomp the gain pot into the overdrive section? I know how to do it for a single gang pot— the dual gang thing is throwing me a bit. Thanks!

Interesting question. First idea that pops into my mind is a switch that grounds lug 3 of the Dirt pot. and shorts lugs 1 and 2 of the Clean pot simultaneously. You would need a DPDT, or a 3PDT is you want an LED indicator to show which mode you are in.

Thanks! Has this never come up before? If so, I'm a bit gobsmacked!

Could you alternatively use two single gangs and stomp between them?

I think the pot works as a mix between dirt and clean? If so you could make the dirt mix stompable. I've seen that before, but I think it would work best using 2 single gangs instead of a dual gang for more control.
